This was my very favorite of all the Madeline books as a child.
I just don't see an issue with the so-called stereotyping of the gypsies. Madeline and Pepito were rescued by them! They had fun performing in the circus and living with the gypsies! The gypsy mama loved them! It's a lovely imaginative book with beautiful pictures and text.
